Phalaris Minor: A Threat to Wheat Yield & How Pyroxasulfone Can Help

Little Seed Canary Grass, a Big Problem:

• Phalaris minor, also known as guli danda (Hindi) and sittee booti (Urdu), is a major weed in wheat fields.

• It can significantly reduce wheat yield by up to 40%.

Pyroxasulfone 85% WG: Your Weapon against Phalaris Minor

• This selective, pre-emergence herbicide is specifically designed to control Phalaris minor.

• It belongs to a new class of chemistry and offers outstanding residual action, providing season-long weed control.

How Pyroxasulfone Works:

• It disrupts the biosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in Phalaris minor, causing a build-up of fatty acid precursors.

• This ultimately leads to the death of the weed.

Benefits of Using Pyroxasulfone:

• Long-lasting control: Pyroxasulfone provides effective Phalaris minor control throughout the season.

• Increased productivity: By controlling weeds, you can save labor, time, and water, boosting overall productivity.

• Reduced post-emergence herbicide application: Pyroxasulfone can help minimize or simplify the need for post-emergence herbicide application.

How to Use Pyroxasulfone:

• Apply Pyroxasulfone 85% WG at a rate of 60 grams per acre to wheat crops within 3 days after sowing.

• This ensures effective control of Phalaris minor before it can damage your wheat yield.
